Hello, it's me. I draw things and think about fictional worlds too hard.

Splatoon Raiders-What Could go Wrong?

Thought it'd be fun to try getting a short comic out before we get the Splatoon Raiders Direct, and, well, this probably isn't gonna be anywhere near canon once the game actually comes out.

I guess this is my slightly late post for Splatoon's 11th Anniversary too lol.

Annnddd the last one for now:

Yeah, so as said before, this is pretty much al bases covered when it comes to the types of characters that could potentially be in Splatoon Raiders (with the exception of the main villain, since to try speculating on them I wanna see if we get more information on the game's actual plot.)

Some of these could be close, some could be ten miles off-Guess we just gotta wait and see.

[averageartistamber]

A few more possible characters. I really like the idea of having a team of rival-like side antagonists who go alongside the main villain. These guys would be fun for Deep Cut to be played off to develop their characters more.

Okay, so for the most part I think most of my bases are covered when it comes tro my speculative characters (the main "gap" that's left I think is Major Villain-who I could come up with something for, but I almost wanna wait until we get like a "story trailer" or something before I get too deep into theorising.)

So I might do one more of these, maybe?

Okay, so I do wanna note that Dr Takos is based on a jokey prediction from my Raiders Trailer breakdown. Looking at this screen shot it appears that we're getting a generic narrator fir treasure flavour text.

A character who provides lore and world building info is still very possible.

So, in the lead up to Raiders I thought I'd try throwing out some speculation about the kinds of characters Mechanic and Deep Cut could potentially meet. (Mostly based on NPC archetypes you'd expect to see in a Splatoon game, like plot characters, exposition givers and vendors in this case).

This is a very "for funsies" kind of thing.

Big update-My webcomic pilot, Collectors of the Strange: Origins is now live on Webtoon Canvas, Globalcomix and Webcomic Studio.

Turns out that when it's discovered that ghosts are in fact real, exploring abandoned places becomes even more popular with teens. Weel, Mitchel and Natalie decide to explore their local mall which shut down years ago due to a mysterious death. What could possibly go wrong?

It's a prologue to a larger project I wanna start working on in the future (likely will spend the next few months planning a detailed synopsis of the whole thing and getting at least half the chapters scripted). If you like stuff like Ghostbusters, FNAF and Scooby Doo, this project might be up your alley.

Splatoon Raiders Trailer Analysis-Part 2!

Yeah, here's the second half of my yappathon.

Honestly, one of the big things that stands out to me is that aside from the Mechanic, (who we play as) we haven't been introduced to any new named characters. Wonder if Nintendo are saving new NPCs for a "Raiders Direct" in June or, like, the cast of this game legitimately is gonna be tiny (just Deep Cut and whoever the main antagonist is.)

Guess we'll see in the coming months.

Splatoon Raiders Trailer Analysis (Part 1)

Yeah, so uh, been a while, hasn't it? Thought I'd come back with another one of these, like I did for the first teaser last year.

[averageartistamber]

Been re-teaching myself how to animate since it's been a good couple of years.

[averageartistamber]

Okay, so to anyone who watches FNAF fan animations, does this image ring a bell at all?

So, uh. I was watching a video about finding the origins of cursed images when I suddenly remembered this FNAF 4 animation I saw on Tiktok probably a few years ago.

So, it basically had a room with a bed in it, and I remember it being dark, and Nightmare Mangle is perched on the wall all spider like. Then the door opens and light fills the room, cmaking her scuttle away and hide under the bed.

(However, thinking about it there's a possibly I might have it backwards. As in, the room goes dark and Mangle comes out of hiding).

I'm pretty sure this is a real video I'm remembering, but there's always a chance I dreamed it, I guess.

Maybe it's from a smaller creator? Kinda likely the tiktok post was one of those re-upload fan pages that finds and posts random stuff, and this video was originally on Youtube? I joined the app around the time Security Breach came out, but probably saw the video at least a year or two later (not that that's super informative given the way the algorithm works.

So, uh, yeah. Just something that's been on my mind today.

Another FNAF Redraw, this time Bonnie escaping containment/being bolted to the stage. I think the book describes it as sounding like a car backfiring? So I wanted to be sorta dramatic.

Kept Lamar in the control room too, I though it's make a bit more sense?

Original.

[averageartistamber]

I had a dream that Deltarune Chapter 5 came out-but it was like, really short. You could beat it in half an hour.

You know that little running joke where Ralsei "splats" on the floor?

There was a pale yellow room where you find Dess like that (she had her popular fan design with the short dark hair and blue antlers). This somehow reveals that she's the Knight, and I was like "Huh? That's it?"

That's all I really remember.

Redrawing panels from the FNAF Graphic Novels Episode 1-John's Dropkick of Justice.

Okay, so, a few weeks back I decided to have a full read through of the Silver Eyes trilogy (which I hadn't done yet despite owning the books for a few years). Almost finished Fourth Closet now.

Anyways, I thought it'd be a fun idea to redraw a few bits from the graphic novel adaptations, starting with this one.

Sketch and lineart.

The original. Dunno if I did it justice, guys.

I should probably lose my comedy privileges.

So, this is the comic I forgot to post earlier. Been sick for the past week so I'll blame my horrible ideas on that.

[averageartistamber]

Still haven't seen the movie (Over here everything just says pre-order), but Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays folks.

[averageartistamber]

Back on the FNAF brainrot again. (I haven't seen the movie yet.)

[averageartistamber]

So early takes on the main characters of my new project. Laura, age 16, is taking her friends (Brittany and Sophie) on holiday/vacation to a small village where some mysterious stuff happened 30 years ago.

She feels that she and her "team" have the combined brains to be able to get to the bottom of the mysteries.

(Yeah, it's worth keeping an eye on the fourth character, they might come up later).

[averageartistamber]

..This is basically how the movie ends, right?
